Activities and Programs

RURAL AND AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
* Agricultural Center of the North (ACN)‎
In 1994, the RMF launched its agricultural activities with the establishment of the Agricultural Center of ‎the North (ACN). Our center mainly targets farmers unable to cope with the many agricultural difficulties ‎that the deficient agricultural system poses. Over the years, the foundation has been expanding its ‎agricultural development program towards more comprehensive projects.‎
Until today, the RMF follows a detailed action plan to promote the well-being of disadvantaged agricultural ‎families. We are concerned with the whole agricultural cycle, from the production to the marketing of the ‎end products. Furthermore, we provide farmers with a direct link to market networks according to our ‎following objectives:‎
‎-‎ Reduction of production costs for small farmers‎
‎-‎‎ Improvement of the quality of production and increase its returns ‎
‎-‎Creation of agricultural cooperatives
‎-‎ Inform and train farmers and cooperatives members‎
‎-‎‎ Improve the marketing of the products
* Environment protection
‎- Creation of Environment clubs in schools
‎- Organization of awareness campaigns, seminars and workshops on crucial ‎environmental issues (waste management, reforestation, etc.)‎
‎- Participation in reforestation activities in collaboration with municipalities and local ‎NGOs and preservation of bio-diversity through the plant nursery
‎- Promotion of environmentally friendly agricultural practices (by using organic manure, ‎reducing the use of pesticides, etc.)‎

HEALTH PROGRAM
* Community Clinic:‎
In 1991, the RMF opened a medical community clinic in Zgharta, which serves the most destitute regions, ‎such as the suburbs of Tripoli, and the Akkar, Dannieh and Zgharta areas. 
The Community clinic offers the following services:‎
‎- Dental clinic‎
‎- Ophthalmology clinic‎
‎- Laboratory
‎- Pharmacy‎
‎- Specializations such as pediatrics, cardiology, internal medicine, general medicine ‎etc. ‎
* Mobile clinic:‎
This service has been launched in 1991 with the aim of reaching the remote and inaccessible villages such ‎as Akkar, Dannieh, Ehden, Bcharreh, Batroun, and Minieh. ‎
Three ambulances visit around 200 remote villages each month at fixed hours, where they ‎dispense medicine and provide basic health care. ‎
* Public health program:‎
The RMF regularly organizes vaccination campaigns and health awareness activities. It ‎further distributes drugs and medical equipment. ‎
* Telecommunication and Information Technology center‎
This center is an important element of the RMF’s strategy for social integration and empowerment of ‎the young. This is done through the development of proximity educational and leisure services. This ‎strategy not only puts forward vocational and technical education, but Information and Communication ‎Technology, in order to stimulate sustainable development in underprivileged regions.‎

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Activities of the RMF in the social sector are focused on:‎
‎- Children Rights‎ The program is carried out on two levels: on the advocacy and education level, we aim to spread ‎knowledge and awareness of children’s rights. On the field level, we endeavor to provide free ‎primary education for all children as well as a quality social environment in the most ‎underprivileged regions.‎
‎- Economic and social empowerment of women This program seeks to enhance education, professional skills and gender awareness among ‎women. We strive to improve their well-being, to promote their economic independence, and to ‎increase their participation in decision-making.‎

DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS
The RMF aims to provide civil society with the reflection tools, which are necessary for the consolidation ‎of democratic practices and the rule of the law. It strives to maintain coordination between the different ‎components of the civil society, especially those who want to play a strategic role as partners in ‎development and catalysts of change. ‎
